How can I get my daughter to the UK?

[fred]

Even if the father was prepared to have her, look after and house her, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give her a visa because, as they would probably see it, she has someone to care for her in the Philippines.

Ian..Are you talking about the mother or the child? The child is British so why the need for a visa??
The childs future depends heavily on the fathers future support..Long may it continue..I agree though that he/she is better off here with the mother..
Its a shame the little ones nationality has no bearing on the mothers prospects to live in the UK IMO... I guess another non speaking European took her place by default!

As far as I know, in the US the mother would be given the right of entry to the US, and it seems a tad sad this is not the case in the UK. So in reality a 3yo British born kid can come and live in UK on his own, leaving mummy in the Phil!! Yep, that sounds normal and safe to me!!!

there is a right for a parent to access a child in the UK - http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/vis...ntaccessrights

but the father would have to be looking after the child, you would need money and also more difficult for you to get, you need 'The candidate holds a valid UK entry clearance for entry in this ability'

student visa - cost you a bit.

So would an airline let A 3 year old British citizen on the plane to the UK without his mum??
Perhaps they would send a non English speaking Afghan to pick him/her up Heathrow..Pretty certain that would be in the childs best interests in the long run..
.Its becoming too damn embarrassing giving advice to British people abroad.. I give up!!
